Chapter 125 (1/2)
”In the last odd carriage, the man died.” The crow said vaguely, but he believed that the wolf could understand who he was talking about. Crow silently smile, tone is very subtle: ”when I squat beside him, I see his slightly open collar, under the clavicle has a blue tattoo, blood and clothes blocked the majority, but still can see a general shape.”
The crow's words made the wolf stare at the crow hesitated for a long time. He looked as if he had seen a ghost. After a long time, he said in an uncertain tone: ”did you mean it?”
The crow's eyes looked cold and said in a low voice, ”no, I didn't mean to.”
The inexplicable dialogue between the crow and the wolf is over. The reason is that the black cat comes back after turning off the light and sits back beside the crow. Then the black cat lit the candle in front of him, and the fire in the carriage lit up a lot, although the flame always trembled with the slight shaking of the train.
”We can start.” The crow held out a finger and put it on the plate in the middle of the yin-yang eight diagrams diagram. He explained: ”this game seems to require everyone to put a finger on this plate, and then one person can ask God. After that, we can ask questions and let the invited God answer us.”
”Stupid game.” The wolf expressed his dissatisfaction, but still put his finger on the small white plate.
Then the black cat also very cooperatively extended the finger, three people all put the finger on that small dish, the dish is bottom up cover. The crow looked at the two people around him and saw that they were not speaking. So the crow thought about it and asked, ”what should I say, please show the gods?”
The wolf was impatient and said, ”well, please show me the God of death! Isn't it written on the damned door for death to judge? ”
I don't know if it's right or not. As soon as the wolf finished saying this, the three people almost felt the little white plate under their fingers tremble at the same time. The shaking was very subtle, but the touch of the fingers was so obvious that all three of them were silent for a moment. The wolf looked up at the crow and asked, ”did any of you move this dish?”
”I didn't force.” The crow raised the corners of his mouth slightly, half smiling.
”I didn't either.” The black cat has a rigid expression.
”Well, it seems that death has come to light.” The wolf said, staring at the crow: ”then let me ask the first question first Let me see, who killed the owl? ”
The dish under the fingers of three people began to shake more violently, and then a magical thing happened. I don't know if someone actually cheated or pushed the dish by secret force, but the dish did move. It first circled around the Yin and Yang eight diagrams on the cloth, and then stopped on the first character --
”can't tell With the movement of the dish, the wolf combined the characters it had stayed in one by one, and finally formed such a simple sentence. The wolf laughed sarcastically: ”it seems that even the God of death can't tell us who the murderer is?”
”The three of us can each ask a question, but I haven't figured it out yet, black cat Can you come first? ” The crow felt the little white plate and went back to the middle of the diagram of yin and Yang, so he said to the black cat.
The black cat said he accepted it and thought for a while. He lowered his voice and asked, ”where is the key to this carriage?”
The black cat's voice dropped, and the dish under their fingers began to act on itself, and unexpectedly, simply and directly answered the black cat's question - ”on one of you.”.
The answer surprised all three.
”On whom?” The black cat asked again.
The dish replied -- ”can't tell.”.
”Well, let's ask in a different way.” The crow also came to be interested, as if maliciously, he asked a very bad question: ”among the three of us, who is the next person who will die?”
The dish replied, ”I can't tell you.”.
The crow was silent for a moment and then asked, ”how can we get out of this carriage?”
The dish wandered around the eight diagrams for a while, and answered - ”kill the person who holds the key.
” where is the key on that person? ”
The dish answers - ”what the heart wants.”.
The crow's face was a little dark, and he asked a complicated question: ”are you really the God of death?”
This time, the dish wandered around again for a long time before giving the answer - ”yes.”.
After answering these questions, the dish would not move any more. No matter what questions the three people asked, the dish would remain motionless in the middle of the eight diagrams of yin and Yang. The candles on the table began to fade, as if death had left.
”It's like saying it and not saying it.” The wolf pushed the dish and sat down on the sofa. He felt hot and dry in the air. He grabbed his hair impatiently.The car was still dark, only the light of the candle was flashing. I don't know if it was the intensity of the flame. The crow also felt a little hot. He stood up and said, ”I'll go to the toilet and turn on the light.”
So the crow left. This time, the wolf and the black cat were the only ones left.
